For some time now, there has been talk of solid cosmetics . But what is it? And what are its benefits?
Solid cosmetics: what is it?
Solid cosmetics are the set of cosmetic products whose formulation does not include water or very little. In fact, a liquid product contains about 50-60% water, while a solid product contains 2 to 5% water. Where there is water there is a greater probability of bacterial proliferation, therefore by decreasing the water or removing it completely, the possibility of contamination and deterioration of the product is reduced. Solid cosmetic products require much less preservatives.
What are the benefits of solid cosmetics?
The new frontiers that are appearing on the eco-sustainable market of one's well-being concern the introduction of solid cosmetics that see these important benefits:

What products can we find solid?
We can find perfumes, shampoos, deodorants, facial soaps, soaps for our laundry, shower gels, body creams and face creams, intimate hygiene, shaving creams and oral hygiene.
Among the solid perfumes we have Philosikos Savon by diptyque , a tribute to Plato who believed that the fig tree had the power to strengthen intelligence. Its success is due to the olfactory balance between the tree and its leaves.
As a solid shampoo we recommend the Solid Shampoo by L'Occitane in three different versions: gentle, fresh and repair, which reduces excess sebum and purifies the hair. The hair is clean for longer and regains lightness and freshness.
We also recommend the Ben&Anna line, where you can find both solid shower gels like Velvet in natural tablets , and fluoride-free toothpaste in tablets, all with eco-sustainable packaging.
In addition to the soaps, such as the Fragonard Soap and Soap Holder , the iconic Marseille soap cube from Compagnie de Provence is typical, which is perfect for the delicate care of linen and cleaning the floor. This Marseille soap cube is an authentic product. Cooked in a cauldron, it is made in authentic soap-making tradition. It is made from 72% pure vegetable oil.
